Since Christian Bale was questioned and released without being charged in relation to the accusations of assault leveled by his mother and sister, what do we make of all of this? If we've learned anything from Christian Bale's notoriously tight-lipped relationship with the media, chances are really good that we'll never know for sure what happened in that London hotel room. His family is keeping quiet, and while reports from anonymous sources try to explain the incident that led to Bale's arrest, the actor has issued one statement denying the assault accusations and claiming that no further comment will be made. And that's probably the truth.Bale, who still hasn't revealed the name of his 3-year-old daughter to the media, is so press shy that I was shocked to read his recent candid interview with Parade, in which he was "happy to talk about" his late Dark Knight and I'm Not There costar, Heath Ledger, who died in January from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. "It takes a...

The day after The Dark Knight set box-office records here in the U.S., franchise front man Christian Bale was arrested in London, where his mother and sister accused him of assault.The Welsh actor, who denies the allegations, turned himself in to a police station, where he was questioned for several hours and released without being charged, Bale's London-based law firm, Schillings, said in a statement on Tuesday.Though Scotland Yard has not confirmed the identity of the accused, British media reported the actor's mother and sister filed a complaint, saying that Bale assaulted them at a London hotel on Sunday — the day before Dark Knight's European premiere. By some accounts, the questioning of Bale was held off until Tuesday, so as to not taint the opening-night event."Christian Bale attended a London Police station today, on a voluntary basis, in order to assist with an allegation that had been made against him to the police," the statement read. "Mr. Bale, who denies the alle...

Rolling out the red black carpet on Monday night, New York City truly became Gotham as the stars of this summer's most talked-about movie, The Dark Knight, stepped out at the film's world premiere. Nearly all in attendance were dressed in the same somber tones of the carpet (presumably as a tribute to the late Heath Ledger, whose portrayal of the Joker is the film's biggest buzz-drawer), but there was still plenty of excitement in the air. While Ledger was on the minds and tongues of many, the stars also chose to use the evening to celebrate the film, which has had those lucky enough to screen it early (myself included) gushing for the past couple of weeks.Michael Caine, who reprises his role as Bruce Wayne's loyal butler Alfred, said the film has an "extraordinary intelligence at work," referring to cowriter/director Christopher Nolan and his epic vision for the sequel to the franchise rebooting Batman Begins. "It's not like the usual cartoon or big blockbuster," Caine said. "All o...
